Metro has two sides. They have nationwide Part 135 programs, and a Part 145 operation in Shreveport.  The same HR policies cover both sides.  The vacation and salary they offer is decent for the folks that live and work in Shreveport, and a lot of the Part 145 side people stay around awhile, eventually earning decent vacation before they retire, are fired, or are laid off.  The result is that folks hired by Metro have to deal with Shreveport HR standards even though the majority of them are not in Shreveport.
